So great to hear! We were also using Brand.ai internally even before the team official joined us. When DSM is out in December you contact support to migrate your Brand.ai library to a DSM account.
Timo, when the product is released in early December, it'll be in preview mode. However, we are actively building premium functionality to meet the needs of large organizations. In early 2018, there will be two ways to use DSM—a free version and an enterprise-ready version that comes with premium features.
Steven, there are just too many talented people innovating in this space and I think we all want to see that continue to make design better for everyone. I don’t know if we will see a monopoly like that again any time soon ;)
That being said, I think that a consolidation of tools is an inevitable part of evolution. There is a growing need today for teams to design systems together, rather than draw screens alone. From what we’ve observed, the tool + tool + tool diaspora isn’t working – at least not for everyone. DSM aims to connect a workflow to make design systems together possible.
We’ve always aimed to build tools that integrate with your existing workflow, and that’s exactly what DSM is. We also have some aspirational ideas of what a design tool could be, and that’s why we’ve created Studio.
Evan, you'll be able to import anything from Sketch into DSM. So if you're working on setting up a system in Sketch, keep going :) You'll be able to bring it all into DSM!

Hayk you can even add instances of Symbols to DSM. I've been adding instances that are already pinned to the desire sides (eg. toolbar pinned to top, left and right) using Auto Layout, and when I drop it from DSM into an Artboard it just lands exactly where I need it. I hope you'll love it. Looking forward to your feedback once it's in your hands.
